think before you post

No doubt it's fun to post photos of yourself and your friends. That's the fundamental way members of sites like Friendster connect with each other on a daily basis. But keep in mind the fact that, in addition to you and your friends, other people may have the opportunity to see your profile too. And also keep in mind the fact that there are millions of Friendster users (and tens of millions of users at other social networking sites like MySpace) and sometimes, those users may not have the best intentions. Not only is it unsafe to post photos of yourself or your friends in compromising situations, it can be detrimental to you in the long run. Today, many employers look at Friendster profiles to determine if a job candidate is someone they'd actually want to hire or have working at their organization. A good rule of thumb is this ' if you'd be embarrassed to have your parents, your loved ones, or a potential employer see your photos or the information posted at your profile, chances are you shouldn't post that information in the first place.
